Hair testing in Airline Medicals, a Common Practice?

[Baboon Boy]

Hi all,

have heard rumours that many UK and European airlines carry out hair testing for past drug use in pre-employment medicals.

Is this true?

[Sean Dell]

I hope so

[Old Smokey]

I hope so too.

If they don't, why not?

What about us "Bald Eagle" Pilot's then?

[Lou Scannon]

Who said it had to be from the head?

[I Am Not The One]

Hmmmm!.......Which "Head" are you referring to?

[Baboon Boy]

If youve got hair on that head mate then you need to see a doctor I reckon.

Well if this is true they can find plenty of samples on my @rse!

[Dehavillandman]

Sounds good, tired of people masking and hiding previous drug use. The quicker the better. :D

[JackOffallTrades]

Hide your drugs quicker and better??? Whatever. I'm not looking forward to having my butt hairs plucked though! :ooh:
